FAQs

Since this site launched in 1996, I have received a steady stream of email from fans and others interested in Jim Carroll. Below is an index of the most frequently asked questions, categorized by topic. Click on the questions to see the answers.

Note: these FAQs were originally written in 2001, and some are outdated. I’ve . . . removed the ones that became obviously irrelevant after Jim’s death. The rest I’ll update after I’ve finished re-building the site. — Webmaster
